The correct answer is: "As a nation, India is a united country and shall always remain so."

Key Points

  • The sentence is grammatically correct because it uses the indefinite article "a" before "nation" to show that India is one of many nations, and not the only one.
  • It also uses the correct verb tense, "shall always remain," to indicate a future certainty.
  • The sentence is structured properly with a subject ("India"), verb ("is"), and predicate ("a united country").
  • The phrase "as a nation" is used correctly to introduce the subject of the sentence.
  • The sentence is well-structured, with a clear subject-verb agreement and coherence in expressing the idea that India is currently a united country and will continue to be so in the future.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
